Rogan: maybe someone should shoot the homeless people
https://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory/canada-police-report-multiple-shootings-british-columbia-87366849/
2 dead after all-night shooting rampage in Vancouver, Canada Canadian authorities say a gunman who roamed for hours through a sleeping Vancouver suburb shot four people, two of them fatally, as he opened fire at a casino, a center for the homeless and other locations before being killed by police
That :matt-jokerfied: take that over half of the country would be fine with it if the government started disappearing homeless people keeps winning.
Non leftists who are living comfortably don't want a reminder that life is not always good in this country. They already train themselves to ignore homeless people like they aren't even there
My parents would gripe about them when I was a kid
For their world to be Just, poor people have got to deserve poverty. So if my parents noticed a person who seemed desperately poor, they would reflexively start crafting smear-scenarios that could let the poor person be desperately bad
He is still mad the BLM protesters did not het shot by the police what a sad fuck i hope he dies.
No he was just joking you’re taking him out of context he has thousands of hours of content the fact that he made that comment just a few days before somebody acted on the suggestion is completely irrelevant :wojak-nooo:
(This is what every :reddit-logo:er on the Vancouver subreddit is saying when people mention this)
Yeah that whole exchange is repugnant. Almost can't believe that that's comedy to some people.
They had a car?? A canopy??? A dresser??? Who do these vermin think they are, people???
Not trying to defend what Rogan said because like...it definitely could instigate stochastic terrorism....but is there any evidence of a connection or that the shooter ever even listened to Rogan's podcast?
the point of stochastic terrorism is exactly that you aren't that one specific guy who single-handedly instigated that one specific act of terror, but that you're just part of the steady background droning that makes fascist violence appear morally permissible, socially acceptable and historically justified while you can always deny you were complicit in creating and maintaining that murderous hegemony. Rogan is a part of it just as every braindead redditor who's posted similar shit, it's just that this walking, talking avatar of meat sweats is further up the chain, has bigger reach, gives the redditors something to parrot. this is how a society is step by step prepared for the operation of the ovens. this is how the increasingly desperate capital of the imperial core overwrites the liberal ideology with something more mask off and more hands on.
...sure?
but saying "rogan caused x" really does make it seem like it's more a case like the quebec mosque shooter or something where you can directly tie the guy to Ben Shapiro.
almost certainly just a coincidence, but things do have a way of filtering down
yeah, he's just one bloodthirsty upper class freak among an entire class of them. he didn't start the class war
Unironically one of the worst things to happen to media is give it to the hands of the people instead of experts in whatever information they are trying to convey.
This is what happens when you democratize information, you get mob rule. People are animals.
lmao bad take, what do you think the experts are saying, they are paid by capital. What zero material analysis does to a mf
